LAST TIME OUT
The Bonnies were swept by Saint Joseph's in an Atlantic 10 series at Joyce Field over the weekend. Josie Borysevicz made two starts in the circle in games one and three. Sam Wood also came through with a strong start in game two, tossing six frames surrendering just two runs and striking out three in game two.

FIVE THINGS TO WATCH

Hailey Blencowe continues to pace the Bona offense with a team-best .313 average. She has earned five hits in her last five games, including a two-run single on Saturday.

As the Bonnies' leadoff hitter, Desiree Gonzalez has continued to get on base on a consistent basis. The senior has elevated her on-base percentage to .398, and she's stretched her hits to extra-base hits consistently. Of her 29 total hits, 14 have gone for extra bases, bringing her slugging percentage to a team-best .533.

In addition to their multi-hit games, Piergustavo and Gonzalez have worked the most multi-RBI games. Of Piergustavo's eight total, she's had five games with three runs batted in. Gonzalez follows close behind with seven multi-RBI games.

Freshman Sam Wood has pitched her best in Atlantic 10 games. In her three A-10 appearances, she has earned a 1.62 ERA, which is good for fifth best in conference games. Josie Borysevicz delivered 11 innings with nine strikeouts in two appearances in the series against Saint Joseph's.
